5. Purification by various sucrose<br />
concentrations<br />
There was a significant difference<br />
between the yield of protoplasts centrifuged in the<br />
four sucrose concentrations tested, but no<br />
significant difference in the viability (Table 2).<br />
Purification with 16 % sucrose solution gave the<br />

Factors affecting the protoplast culture<br />
1. Culture medium<br />
MS medium was found to be more<br />
effective than KM8P medium. The first cell
